You can literally stroll around Jeddah\u2019s Islamic Arts Biennale for a full day and still not be able to see all the exhibits that are housed in the place. But if you\u2019re going there anytime soon, you definitely have to make it a point to not miss out on the exhibits from Uzbekistan. They\u2019re housed in Gallery 5 of Jeddah\u2019s hajj terminal.<\/p>\n
Pages from the Katta Langar Quran, one of the oldest Quran manuscripts still in existence and dating to the early years of Islam, are the main draw.<\/p>\n
It was preserved for many years in a mausoleum in the little community of Katta Langar, which sits atop a mountain in Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve been placed inside a climate and light-controlled box, as, let\u2019s face it, Jeddah\u2019s hot and humid weather isn\u2019t ideal for age-old manuscripts.<\/p>\n
\nOn Wednesday 23th, the Louvre museum in Paris will unveil two leaves of a unique Qur\u2019\u0101n manuscript attributed to caliph ‘Uthm\u0101n, coming from Katta Langar, a village located in South-East of Uzbekistan. A brief look back at the history of this mysterious manuscript\ud83e\uddf51\/10 pic.twitter.com\/Y92BDPOlhW<\/a><\/p>\n
